TOTO - Official Website - Lyrics

Album Name: Rise Up

Woodstock

Well I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, tell me where you're goin'
This he told me

I'm going on down to yasgur's farm
I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
I'm going to try an' get my soul free

Chorus We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who l am
But you know life is for learning

Chorus
Instrumental
Chorus

By the time we got to woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation

Chorus



Rise Up

In this world of pain and sorrow
It takes you down, it takes you down
But you shine again tomorrow
Reaching for the light through the channels of God

When you're lost just like a ship in the night
You can find your way home if you're willing to figth

Chorus
Rise Up
Baby all you need to be free
Is the love in your heart and a dream to dream
Rise Up
There's a place for both you and I
And forever our spirits will fly
Rise Up

Through the mist we see changes
Love has come and gone, they come and go
Some stay near, some will always be strangers
But their love is a sea that's helped us to grow

You're not alone
Sometimes it's hard to be strong
When love lies there waiting
Don't let it wait there too long

Chorus

Rise Up
Rise Up
Rise Up
To meet your desires
And reach for the sky
Just open your wings, and soon you will learn how to fly

In this world there is heartache and pain
But the sun always rises again

Chorus



Annalies

When I'm alone, whenever my night ends forever
I'm remembering what you said to me, Annalies, yeah
Did we have it all, a woman lost inside a lonely dream
Well being together isn't what it seems, Annalies, yeah

Where would I go if you left me, here and now
You should know the games we've been playing
How could I ever get over losing you

Chorus
Think about what you're saying
Think about what you're doing to me
Can you look in my eyes before another sun goes down
Do you know what I mean, Annalies

I know you, girl, and the way that you look in the mirror
Still believing the things you wanna see, Annalies
When you turn to your lies
Whenever your heart begins to settle down
Now you're fallin' so fast I didn't hear the sound, Annalies

Where would you go if you left me, here and now
No where fast, and walking to get there
Wishin' I wasn't afraid of losin' you

Chorus
Instrumental

Where would I go if you left me, here and now
You should know the games we've been playing
Maybe I'm still afraid of losin'you, Annalies

Chorus



Is It Over

Another night with that look in your eyes
How long have we been waiting with nothing left to say
We come together but we're always alone
We tell the same sad story anyway

I've been around you for a long, long time
You can let me in, you gotta let me know

Chorus
Is it over
So I can learn to love again
I believe it when I hear you say
That it's over
That I can learn to fly again
Do you need to say goodbye to me

There's no reason we should tell any lies
Because the truth reveals anything we try to hide
So if you open up your heart to me
I will take your hand in mine

We've been together for a long, long time
You can tell me anything, you gotta let me know

Chorus

Give any time, even the sun will grow cold
When the fire dies inside
What I wanna know, if the flame still burns
For you and me

Instrumental

We've known each other for a long, long time
You can let me know

Chorus



Let's Talk About Love

Been waitin' for tomorrow
The daylight never passed so slow
Everytime I think of you I fight for the words
Cuz I want you to know what I know

Just move in a little closer
Something tells me that this feeling won't go
You don't have to cry again and turn love away
Cuz I want you to know what I know
What I know, something that I really gotta let you know

Chorus
Let's talk about love
One night is a dream for me
Let's talk about love
This heart isn't far from surrender
One moment with you and my life turned around
Let's talk about love

Trying to wait on the outside
Young emotion, the pains to show
Everything's clearer now since you went away
But I want you to know what I know
What I know, something that I really gotta let you know

Chorus

From the first time I saw you
I knew I had to have you
Together we could be one forever
Now I could find you, you can't find your way home
Let's talk about love

Instrumental

Let's talk about love
One moment with you and my life turned around
Let's talk about love
Let's talk about love
One moment with you and my life turned around
Let's talk about love



Who Cries Now

I do recall those were the best of times
Back when we were young and so in love
We were living for emotion, baby
Remember the time we danced in the moonlight
Down the one-way street
I never would havethought it could happen
That it could end this way
So ask yourself are we just chasing thunder
Riding with the wind

Chorus
Who cries now
Hide the fear and loneliness and tears
What are we crying for
It shouldn't be you, it should've been me
Who cries now

Take me down to the river and say those magic words
Turn the water into wine to help me make it thorugh the night
I'm so tired of this game, I need to break away
From these broken tears
I know that it's hard, it's never easy
When memories will fade away
I know myself, I don't like chasing thunder or riding with the wind

Chorus

You keep hanging on
Is it just to break my heart
It's all over but the shouting and cyring and the pouting, baby
Would the last one to leave please turn out the lights
And take the garbage out

Instrumental
Chorus



Live In the Night

Take a chance
Turn it on
Make the move before this move is gone
Over here in the fire is the only way to find desire

See everyone running around from the right to the left
And no where bound
Do you know what I mean
Do your feel the same, does it make you scream

Come on over here, give me your little hand
I'll show you the way
There's just no reason to live in yesterday, no, no no

Chorus:
We live in the night
Live in tomorrow
I'm gonna take you there right now
We live in the night
Live in tomorrow
Let me show you how

Can you fly
Can you dream
??????
On the edge of a knife
On the other side of life tonight
There's no limit to what can find
And (???) with time to the (????)
Just you and me, we can tear through the pages of history

Come on over here, give me your little hand
I'll show you the way
There's just no reason to live in yesterday, no, no no

Chorus

Instrumental

If you let your mind run free
When you go to (???) you can still see
How the world is alive, how the air you breath is electrified

Come on over here, give me your little hand
I'll show you the way
There's just no reason to live in yesterday, no, no no

Chorus



Long Hair Woman

The twilight turns away the empty gray of the restless sea
A thousand candles seem to light the waves
Another day is here
Call upon the inner soul
Take me to a sight inside this wilderness
To finally get you girl, I said goodbye to with a kiss

Long ago, I held the shield that tore us both apart
Now the light, now the ray of hope has come back to this heart

Chorus
Summer sun is dancing high
As I call unto the sky
For the love of a long haired woman
The memories of yesterday are all I need to stay
And the love of a long haired woman
Long haired woman

All along the sleeping land, the burning sands
How the seasons change
The time of war's now an easy peace
Still I remain, yeah????
Across the bridge between the now and what will be the life that I live
The young and gentle girl I said goodbye to with a kiss

Long ago, I held the shield that tore us both apart
Now the light, now the ray of hope is a fire heart

Chorus
Instrumental

Take me to a side
Lead me to the river
(no idea??????)

Instrumental
Chorus




You've Got A Friend

When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
Nothing, no nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights

Chorus
You just call out my name
And you know whereever I am
I'll come running, yes I will
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Turns dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

Chorus

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt and desert your
Take your soul if you let them, yeah
But don't you let them

Chorus



To Be Your Everything

Too many hearts alone without a reason
Hanging on to nothing, just to pass time
And don't they know what it is to live inside the moment
Some of you believing, someone just like you

Let the rain come down and take us through
Open up the door
Show me what I'm looking for

Chorus
You are my everything
Say the word, baby, I'll stay forever
You are my everything
No one else in the world will be waiting like me
To be your everything

Can you hear, can you even answer
Do you remember
It's hard for me to know
I know the way that it feels to hold out for tomorrow
And I'm gonna wait here, there's no where left to go

Let the rain come down and take us on
Open up the door
Show me what I'm looking for

Chorus
Instrumental

Tell me what I'm looking for
Chorus



Lay Down Your Arms

Oh, lay down your arms

This one's for faith
This one's for money
This for the time I stepped out all your honey
One more for love
One more for hate
Give it some air, or we'll both suffocate

Like an angel of death
Life-hungry (????)
Right between you and me to the end
Fear without reason
Hearts that grew cold
(????????????)

Now you've got me on the run
I won't go down in flames

Chorus:
Lay down your arms I never wanted to fight this war
Lay down your arms
Don't like the way we get along
Lay down your arms

Stone after stone, the dance in the street
Would turn all the eyes while I turn up the heat
So you draw the line, I'll draw one too
I see no difference in me than you
We can take it to heaven, lead it to hell
This is the time we can break through the spell

Now you've got me on the run
But I won't run away

Chorus
Instrumental

Now you've got me on the run
But I won't run away

Chorus



Paralyzed

The earth is mine, the tide is yours
Like waves upon the sea
You are the sea who touches me and runs away again
Cold, silver stone enraptured, nothing up my sleeve
As I turn my head to watch you leave
My mind grows twisted, my thoughts, so wicked
But my body won't move, no my body will not move

Chorus
I'm paralyzed
Feel like I'm I'm hypnotized
And it's just like a crazy dream
But it's really happening
You've got me paralyzed
Spell-bound and hypnotized
I am the earth, you are the sky
And helplessly I watch you pass me by
I'm paralyzed

The wind is yours, the shores are mine
I am the mountain range
I stand alone upon the stone and watch you blow away
Ceaselessly sway like a phantom in the breeze
So that again you get so distant, you seem
My heart is burning where the wall is yearning
But my body won't move, no my body will not move

Chorus

When the stars shine at night
I imagine I have made it to your side
And what, what if I could
But I'm only just a shadow
But (??????) the love

Instrumental
Chorus




Shot Down Love

Shot down love

Jack woke this morning with a smile on his face
Jill looked at hime and said "It's over"
Jack scratched his head and said, "You must be jokin, babe"
But she said "I just don't love you anymore"

????
Like a monkey on your back
Love is ??????
When the good times fade to black
It's just another

Chorus
Shot down love
You all for the same old stuff and get shot down
Shot down love
You've gotta watch your step cuz cupid's got a gun
Yeah, cupid's got a gun

Jill found a new love on the other side of town
Called him her knight in shining armor
She said,"(??????)It's time to settle down"
But he said in a letter, "?????????"

Get this monkey off my back
Get that monkey of your back
????????
Say goodbye and don't look back
It's just another

Chorus

He's gonna make you play the game
So take a shot

Instrumental
